As an update to my previous post (Florida hammered by Katrina and the waves), here are some more Katrina headlines I’ve spotted:
- Katrina and the killer waves - Sunday Mirror, UK
- Hurricane Katrina Making Waves, Heads West - All Headline News
- KATRINA & THE WAVES - 1010 Wins, NY
- Tropical Storm Katrina Brings the Waves As it Nears Florida - Elites TV, TX
- Katrina and the waves set oil on course for $70 - Investor’s Business Daily
- Katrina and its waves spread across southeast Florida - EiTB, Spain
- Crude above $67 as Katrina makes waves - Financial Times, UK
- Tropical Storm Katrina Brings Her Waves Closer to Florida
- Katrina whips up the waves in the Bahamas - Independent Online, South Africa
I’m not even sure why this fascinates me so much. It has this unique natural disaster/one hit wonder/tragedy/walking on sunshine combination that’s apparently very attractive to me.
Update: Back on the 24th the Atlanta Journal Constitution ran a story called Tropical storm bears down on Florida that opened with:
South Floridians won’t be walking on sunshine when Katrina and her waves crash ashore later this week.
Which is pretty much the motherload.
And of course, the song “Walking on Sunshine” should be played from every rescue helicopter. Hey, here’s a great idea: A BENEFIT CONCERT for the victims of Hurricane Katrina by - who else - Katrina and the Waves!!! It’d be great!
